[[album:lofam5a2|Listen to the full album here.]] I like to think that this song captures the overall vibe of a Sburb session, and the journey of its players reaching toward the goal of creating a new universe while ascending to the god tiers. Not super dark or gritty, but not a easy breeze in the park either. The Adventurous Ascent through Sburb mirrors the ascent through life itself, and the many challenges it brings. This track was originally going to be on an upcoming album for my fanadventure (and it'll probably still be on there despite also being on LOFAM); when I saw submissions open for LOFAM 5.2, I decided to submit some tracks, and Adventurous Ascent was the one that got approved. This is my first track to appear on a LOFAM album, and I'm very happy to see that it made it on! <i>Circlejourney:</i> ([Bandcamp about blurb](https://ludicrousfalcon.bandcamp.com/track/adventurous-ascent-land-of-fans-music-5-act-2-version), album artist) + On reading that the track is about progression through a SBURB session, I pictured all 4 beta kids in a sort of staircase composition, each representing a phase in their session's timeline. <i>LudicrousFalcon:</i> ([Bandcamp credits blurb](https://ludicrousfalcon.bandcamp.com/track/adventurous-ascent-land-of-fans-music-5-act-2-version), excerpt) - Song is from "Land of Fans and Music 5 Act 2" by [[group:unofficial-mspa-fans|The Homestuck Fan Musicians]] - - Music composed and mixed by LudicrousFalcon - - Mastering by [[artist:ruby]] - Art by [[artist:circlejourney]] + Song is from [[album:lofam5a2|"Land of Fans and Music 5 Act 2"]] by [[group:unofficial-mspa-fans|The Homestuck Fan Musicians]] + Music composed and mixed by LudicrousFalcon<br> + Mastering by [[artist:ruby]]<br> + Art by [[artist:circlejourney]]<br> Song composed and mixed in Soundtrap, and Cakewalk by Bandlab.

It's now very clear how much J-rock has been influencing me lately. I've always kinda sorta liked J-rock and anime music ever since I was in high school, but it's only recently (over the past 2-3 years) that I've gradually come to REALLY love it. I've watched my [fair share of anime](https://raidsrc.notion.site/Frequently-Asked-Questions-cd033f8c10334d298e9418ec117e7d91#89a16353cffe4f778cabbc885618a182), but it's mostly older stuff. I haven't watched a lot of new shows. So if you can recommend me a new anime to watch (that's actually good, because I'm not wasting my time watching some fucking garbage), go for it in my YouTube comments somewhere.
